Overview

Featured here on Sotheby’s Motorsport is this 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, representing the final evolution of the classic G-body 911: pairing timeless design with the robust and highly regarded 3.2-liter flat-six M930/21 series rear-mounted engine. 
 
Finished in Iris Blue Metallic, this 911 Carrera Coupe’s exterior is further defined by period-correct 16” forged ‘Fuchs’ alloy wheels all around, alongside a power sunroof, rear window wiper, and power windows. The interior is finished in Blue leather upholstery, extending to both power-adjustable seats, the steering wheel, and the leather gear shift boot. Amenities like cruise control, central locking, and air conditioning round off the interior of this Porsche. 
 
Modifications reported include the previous installation of Sachs front and rear shocks for elevated handling dynamics, and a Porsche Classic Communication Management Headunit for up-to-date in-car connectivity. 
 
Comprehensive Porsche literature and documentation also follow this example, including a Porsche Production Specifications Certificate confirming its present configuration matches that as it first left the production line in 1985, and the original sales invoice dated November 1985 when this car was first delivered new.  Just under 82,000 miles are presently indicated on the odometer. Seller’s Disclosure, two keys, service records, factory literature, purchase documentation, window sticker, certificate of authenticity, period tool kit (from another same generation air cooled 911), and a tire compressor accompany the sale. 
 
The Carrera 3.2 is celebrated for its improved reliability, strong torque delivery, and everyday usability, making it one of the most sought-after variants of the impact-bumper era - bridging the air-cooled character of a classic 911 with all the 80s aesthetics and style associated with the celebrated sports car.
